After a tense semi final Good Girl Gone Bad left the survivor as BuzzJack’s third favourite Rihanna album.

There was just one vote in it!

Good Girl Gone Bad was Rih’s third studio album and was the era to turn her into a worldwide icon and house hold name. The albums lead single spent ten weeks at #1 in the UK and earned her a US #1 single too. The album itself would earn her a UK #1 and would sell in excess of 2 million copies. It’s her second highest seller in the UK slightly behind Loud. The album is the only Rihanna album to get a re release! It’s a fantastic pop album with so gems but third place is about right as I think she’s progressed since this record but it was definitely a huge step up from her first two albums and it’s probably the album what changed her life as it set the tone for the rest of her career.

So we’re now in the final round of our albums survivor.

Rated R and Loud remain and in order to end this on a positive and celebratory note I ask for you to choose your favourite!

The WINNER of Rihanna Album Survivor will be decided by you voters! With the poll closing on Saturday at 6pm.

Round 1: 80% of 16 votes - Music Of The Sun
Round 2: 76.47% of 17 votes - A Girl Like Me

Rated R had an accidental vote what was meant to be for Loud.

I’m finding it hard trying to be neutral now though. I really want Rated R to win this.

Loud is my second favourite. But Rated R is truly her magnum opus. An amazing atmospheric masterpiece from start to finish.

Both are some of the greatest albums of our time in all honesty.

Both are COMPLETELY different to each other and it's hard to compare them enough to vote in this...

but I think I'm gonna go for 'Rated R' as my favourite, right now. Honestly they both change so much and vary on the mood I'm in. But the correct top 2! Similar with positions 3 & 4 for me I voted GGGB against ANTI, but both of those are interchangeable in themselves depending on my mood!

So the correct top 4!

Agree on a lot of this!

These are her two best albums for me as well yet they’re poles apart.

Loud is the one I’ve listened more of lately I always go to that album in warm weather but Rated R is my favourite as a whole piece from start to finish.

My third fave though is Unapologetic that’s my “gone too soon” on this rate. But most of the time I’ve been in agreement on the polls.
TTT stayed one round too long and Unapologetic went too soon though for me. It’s been a fun and surprising rate though. I really thought ANTI would’ve been in the final with one of Rated R or Loud! Happy yet shocked GGGB beat it!

Rated R is the best, far more cohesive and complex and her themes into darker content acknowledged with her assault make the record all the more vulnerable and oddly endearing. Cold Case Love, Russian Roulette and The Last Song are Rihanna at her emotional best. Each track is powerful (minus Stupid In Love) and hearing Mad House gives me chills to this day.

Loud is undeniably full of hits, but I feel it has aged more than Rated R. S&M is epic but it doesn't hold quite the raw appeal of Rude Boy, ironically both having writing credits by Ester Dean.

Loud is a great record, but Rated R was the album which made me fall in love with Rihanna.

Rated R by far, it was my favourite until Anti came along.
Loud is good but has always been an overrated one from her discography for me. That red hair tho heart.gif
